In 2004, ACTC's Tenth Annual Conference convened to re-affirm and re-examine the value of serious reading and discussion focused through core texts. Participants articulated the various ways by which core text education in the liberal arts constructs and supports different expressions of community on college campuses around the world. Presenters asked whether it is better to contemplate the arts simply as expressions of cultures and traditions or to cultivate them, taking the risk that what is valued in artistic expressions might be changed by the inventions of teachers and the students they encourage. The essays collected here reflect the responses of the diverse group of ACTC's members, all of whom support the idea of liberal core text education with the self-conscious awareness of the challenges facing liberal education in the modern academy.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 233mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 340gBook Series: Association for Core Texts and CoursesRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
